Sani Umar, former presidential media advisor, has spoken about Tinubu’s journey to becoming president.
In a video recently shared on YouTube by Arise TV, Umar said Tinubu was fortunate because, at the last minute, Buhari decided to support him for the presidency. He said initially, Buhari did not support TInubu and even showed signs of opposing him. He said despite this, TInubu had the backing of important members of his party, including influential people like former Governor El Rufai. He said this key figures supported Tinubu as a way to repay him for his past support.
In Umar’s words: “He (Tinubu) was lucky that the person (Buhari) he supported to become president at the die-minute decided to repay him after he had shown disdain. Tinubu had shown interest in contesting and Buhari was not supporting him, he was doing everything against Tinubu. Tinubu had the support of very key members of his party, the governors like El Rufai and the rest were supporting him and I think they were supporting him in the spirit of reciprocation”..…….See More
